Fighting the Oil Trust.

1t begins to look as il ways would CD en-
for the cotton planters to get out OF the
clutches of the Cotton Seed Oil Trust
Company. A few months ago it was un-
derstood that the Oil Trust bad sec ured
control ofvery nearly all OF the cotton seed
oil mills in the South, and was debating
the price of cotton seed and also OF its
own products. 1t mad every prospect OF
making immense profits. Very soon,
however. the planters began to growl at
the price paid them for cotton seed, and
very large percentage of them decided
to keep the seed tor fertilizing purposes.
The OIL Trust not getting as much seed
as it desired raised the price Of 1t.
About this time it was stated that an
opposition company mad been organized
at New Orleans, and that it had enough
capital TO withstand the competition of
the Oil Trust. The planters began to
take hope, and regarded the outlook as
becoming more promising for them. Com.
petition, they knew very well, meant bet
ter prices for their cotton seed.
A dispatch published in another COL
umn this morning says that a dozen cot
ton seed oil factories are about TO be
started in different Southern cities, and
that it is the intention OF their projectors
to run them in opposition to the Oil
Trust. The hackers OF these factories
are Armour of Chicago, the Oliver Broth
ers of New York, and a Philadelphia
man, all milIiouaires. The capital stock
is to be So, 100000, and it will be doubled
il necessary.
II this immense scheme is carried out
it will help number of Southern towns
and will be OF immense benefit to cot
ton planters throughout the
South. II it is successful, and there
is no reason to doubt that it will be, it
will encourage the building OF other cotton
seed oil factories In other Southern cities.
II the on Trust is permitted to have mo-
nopoly of the cotton seed oil business the
planters will not get enough for their cot
ton seed to pay them for the trouble of
marketing II. The Oil Trust isn't going
TO pay any more than it has to for cotton
seed, and II is going get the highest
prices 1t can for cotton oil and cotton oil
cake. 1t is doing just what all monopo-
lies are doing, nothing more and nothing
less, and just what they will always do.
The only way TO get out OF their clutches
is to destroy, not their business, but
their monopoly. 1t certainly looks as IL
the monopoly of the OIL Trust were about
10 be destroyed.

Chattanooga's Boom.

The Chattanooga Times, in reply to
statement in the MORNING NEWS that
Chattanooga syndicate sis preparing to
sell town lots on the top of Lookout
Mountain" says:
Done sold lots OF lots on top Of the
mountain, and have still number OF ode
sirable and cheap locations left"
Chattanooga syndIcates are not only
booming lots on mountain tops, but also
pretty low down in the valleys. There is
no doubt that that CITY has good BOOM
ing basis. 1t is flourishing city, with
prospects Of grand future. 1t has
many manufacturing enterprises, and is
certain TO have many more in the near
future.
One of its land companies, that has
lately furnished an interested public with
prospectus, appears to have as much
cheek, hope, Imagination and genuine
humor as any Of the many land compa-
MES which are shearing the lambs who
tread the untamed grasses Of some OF the
doomed towns which are constantly
making their appearance in the mineral
belt of the South. This company has $50
acres, capitalized at $500, 900, or 1898 SO
per acre. It will be admitted that this is
very modest capitalization In view of
the fact that the land, under certain con-
tingencies, may be worth ten, or even q
hundred, times the sum named at no
very distant day, The land isn't located
among the clouds. In fact, ii is so low
down in the river bottom that the big
freshets which not infrequently come
booming down the Tennessee causes it to
disappear. The land company. however,
points out that the fact that its land has
In times past been several feet under
water, and is likely to be that far under
water again, is no objection to real es-
tate in CHATTANOOGA, for the reason that
there lie considerable very valuable prop
erty there that is liable to get good
soaking whenever the river takes a notion
to get out OF its banks and 60 roaming
over the adjacent country.
The land company, in its prospectus
naively inquiries whether New Orleans
isn't below the level OF the Mississippi,
and proceeds to argue that it's lands can
be protected from overflow IN the same
way that New Orleans Is protected. OF
course 1t can. All that is needed is
levee that will cost 100000 or 81, ZOO, 900,
or some other little sum. But who is to
furnish the nice little sunni The land
company says thatit is ready to subscribe
100000, and the United States govern
ment is expected to furnish the balance.
And why shouldn't the people OF the
whole country be taxed to make the
land of this land company valuable?
There may be some envious people who
will say that it is better for Chattanooga
to grow up Lookout Mountain rather
than down into freshet- washed bottom.
where the deadly malaria may Turk, and
that if the land company insists OH the
city's growing over its bottom lands it
ought to build a protection levee itself,
but these envious people don't know what
paternal sort of a government this is
becoming. On with the booms, and let
the government pay for them if it will.

The Hoover Case.

The decision of Judge Speer in the
Hoover habeas corpus case removes any
doubt that may have existed as to the
extent of the power of the County Com
missioners in the matter of granting IL
censes to sell intoxicating liquors, and 1t
settles pretty satisfactorily that the stat
ute which gives the Commissioners dis
cretionary powers with respect to appli-
cations for licenses, and requires certain
conditions to be complied with before
license can be granted, is not void.
1t now being understood that the law is
valid, and that the Commissioners can
refuse applications whenever they want
TO, il is probable that the Commissioners
will have less trouble with the liquor
license business. Those who want H.
censes will understand that they cannot
carry on the liquor business II q license
is refused them, and they will also UNDER
stand that license will be refused them
unless they comply with all the condl.
lions OF the law, and that even then their
applications will be denied IL they are not
deemed to be fit persons to be given the
right to sell intoxicating liquors.

with group of ex-Confederates were study
ing the panorama of the battle Of Bull Run.
SAID he: 1T is fact not generally known
that serious accident occurred to Gen.
Robert +. Lee the morning after the second
battle Of Bull Run. Gen. Lee and Stonewall
jackson were seated on a log, near Sudiey
Springs, when some Confederate soldiers who
had crossed the ford imagined they had struck
Pope's whole army. They instantly became
siampeded, and rushed pellmel by the Two
officers. Gen. Lees horse, old Traveller. broke
away. and the General in his efforts to catch
him was thrown violently to the ground,
breaking both his hands. Gen. Lee went to
South Mountain ana Antietam in an ambu-
lance, and travelled in this manner through
the campaigns that followed, carrying his
hands in sling. According to my best re-
membrance he never fully recovered from the
